Hemofiltration and Peritoneal Dialysis in Infection-Associated Acute Renal Failure in Vietnam

Abstract

In some parts of the world, peritoneal dialysis is widely used for renal replacement in acute renal failure. In resource-rich countries, it has been supplanted in recent years by hemodialysis and, most recently, by hemofiltration and associated techniques. The relative efficacy of peritoneal dialysis and hemofiltration is not known.
